Colonic hydrotherapy (colonic irrigation) is part of an approach to health and well being based on naturopathic principles. A colonic treatment will leave you feeling clean, revitalised and well. The treatment itself exercises, tones and rinses the bowel thus aiding elimination of stored waste, mucus and toxins.
A colonic can help improve energy levels, treat a variety of skin conditions in particular acne. It also aids weight loss and helps to improve digestion.

A treatment consists of warm purified water being slowly introduced under gentle pressure into the colon (large intestine), through a small tube that is placed in the back passage. Faecal matter and hardened mucous is softened and stimulated to be released along with gas and any loose debris. The procedure will consist of gently filling and stimulating the bowel with water and abdominal massage. The treatment is not painful in anyway. Cleaning out of the bowel depends on the condition of the bowel and in some cases 2-3 further treatments may be recommended.

It is recommended to increase water consumption to 1.5 – 2 litres in the days leading up to the appointment. Two days before the treatment it is advised to avoid eating processed foods and meat. Cut out tea, coffee, fizzy beverages and alcohol 24 hours before the treatment. Try not to eat a heavy meal 2 hours before the treatment.
